Burkburnett

Looking for descendents of Burk BURNETT probably b. between 1860 and 1870, perhaps in Mo. -- or anyone researching the Burnett family. Our Family legend says that the town of Burkburnett in Wichita County is named after Ggrandmother, Martha Burnett Lee's brother Burk. Martha married Robert Eugene Lee and that family was in Fannin Co. by 1878, later moving to LeFlore Co. OK. Samuel Burk Burnett is referenced in your Wichita Co. history as being an important early settler, but there is no background info on him. In addition to possibly locating Burnett kin, I would like to confirm or disprove the story so as not to waste time following false information.
